BOOK REVIEW

Starcrossed

Josephine Angelini

8/10Written Jun 22, 2011

For the first 50 or so pages I thought this was going to be just like Twilight. Initially there are lots of similarities between Helen Hamilton and Bella. For instance they both are living with their dad and both feel a bit out of it at high school. However, from about page 50 onwards this story takes on a life of it’s own. With demigods, Greek mythology, furies, the underworld. It is a fast paced page turner. And Lucas Delos is the perfect heart throb. I hope there is a sequel coming soon because the ending left me wanting so much more!

Exodus

BOOK REVIEW

Exodus

Julie Bertagna

8/10Written Feb 27, 2011

Exodus is a gripping book. It is a memorable book. I could not put it down. But sometimes describes too much and there is not much action.
Mara’s island is drowning. Is there any hope for the people of Wing? She meets a mysterious fox in the weave. He tells her of a forgotten town in the sky. Will they get there?
I would recommend this book to girls 11+! This is a book you must read!
I rate it 4.5 stars!
